Related. Apple is turning into Sony with their naming of stuff.
In my house I have Apple branded hardware running:
Mac OS
Mac OS X Server
Mac OS X
OS X
macOS
iOS
iPad OS
tvOS
watchOS
homeOS
audioOS
And now I’ll have the strange honor of having two Macs, one running Mac OS X Server 1.23 and one running macOS 26.
- scarface_74 1y agoWhy is naming an OS differently when it is actually a different OS with shared features?
- mattl 1y agoWhat are the differences between OS X El Capitan and macOS Sierra?
- scarface_74 1y agoYou listed a bunch of OS’s for other hardware.
- mattl 1y agoiPads used to run iOS now they run on iPadOS. It just feels so far from Steve Jobs 2x2 grid of products.
- scarface_74 1y agoBecause the iPad has always had a different gesture set than the iPhone.

- Someone 1y agoThat’s spanning decades. The current lineup is highly consistent: macOS, iPadOS (I don’t think Apple uses a space here), tvOS, watchOS, audioOS all use product categoryOS. homeOS doesn’t exist yet for the public, does it? The only outlier is iOS, which should have been called phoneOS or iPhoneOS.
